Port Lincoln to Lyndoch Hill 340km by road and 2 Hrs on a Ferry.

The run up from Port Lincoln to the ferry at Lucky Bay was, to say the least, picturesque. Rolling green fields, smooth slightly winding roads and blue seas and a clear cool day made it something special.

This was the heart of the wheat region, huge storage silos were dotted all over the countryside. They erupted in the distance like a strange obelisk.This is the first day we have left the road and caught a ferry. The  port of Lucky Bay sat in a sapphire blue bay,part of the Spencer Gulf, not much else there just the shop where you bought your ticket and the wharf we were going across to Wallaroo and then continue by road to our final destination of Lyndoch Hill. I arrived 2 hours early ( a slight misunderstanding from the briefing the night before), at least there was internet so I could occupy my time.

We took about 30 minutes to get all the bikes in place and strapped down, the boat was not leaving until the loadmaster was satisfied that the bikes were not going to move anywhere, we too needed to be satisfied. The voyage across was smooth and relaxing, travelling at about 30 km per hour, it was a 2 hour crossing but saved about 400 km if we were to go around via the road.

I have put this link  to a video of a section of this road, if travelled at 1000 km per hour.
